Strategically Speaking: The World Food Summit, five years later and Responses to Franck Amalric
Development, 2001Co-Authors: Franck AmalricAbstract:Franck Amalric sets out some of the criteria for an international movement for food security among governments, financial institutions and civil society and assesses the WFS according to these criteria. He asks that we look seriously at whether the World Food Summit was merely a Communication Event with no real power, capacity, or even intent to actually bring about change, and take the opportunity five years later to reverse past failures.

Suicide Communication Events: Lay interpretation of the Communication of suicidal ideation and intent
Social science & medicine (1982), 2012Co-Authors: Gareth Owen, Judith Belam, Helen Lambert, Jenny L Donovan, Frances Rapport, Christabel OwensAbstract:Abstract Previous research has shown that a majority of people communicate their suicidal ideas and intent prior to the act of suicide, but very little is known about the way in which these suicide Communication Events are interpreted by relatives, friends and significant others. A suicide Communication Event (SCE) is defined as a set of circumstances in which a person expresses suicidal feelings, thoughts, intentions or plans, either directly or indirectly, in interaction with other people in their social environment. In a qualitative study conducted in 2008–9 we collected narratives from people bereaved by suicide. Here we examine these narratives using an analytic framework derived from Communication pragmatics and face-work theory. We analysed 14 cases of completed suicide drawn from coroner's case files in London, Southwest England and South Wales. We found that the SCEs described were potentially face-threatening situations requiring face-saving strategies, which often resulted in off-record, indirect, ambiguous, humorous and euphemistic Communications. Listeners frequently found it difficult to judge the meaning and intention of utterances referring to suicide. The outcome was often misunderstanding and closure of the Communication, limiting the possibility of further support and referral for professional help. SCEs are important elements of the suicide process and we conclude that better understanding of how they occur and the challenges they pose for significant others may provide a basis for strengthening public involvement in suicide prEvention. We draw our findings together in a model that could inform public awareness campaigns designed to improve the way people communicate with each other about suicide and distress.

Business Process Management Workshops - Towards a reference process model for Event management
Business Process Management Workshops, 2007Co-Authors: Oliver Thomas, Bettina Hermes, Peter LoosAbstract:Events are becoming more and more important for companies as an instrument of marketing Communication. Event management is an interdisciplinary task field, addressed in the most diverse fields in practice and in research establishments. Because careful preliminary planning and precise execution are extremely important for Events, modeling languages can contribute greatly to the systematic design of Event management systems. Accordingly, this article will make recommendations for application system and organization-design in the form of a reference process model for Event management.
